Platelet-rich plasma for healing after anal fistula surgery
Treatments studied
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This study tests whether injecting a special solution made from your own blood (platelet-rich plasma) after fistula surgery helps the wound heal faster and better. It is for people with a simple anal fistula, which is a small tunnel that forms near the anus and is easier to treat than complex ones.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 65 years old
- You have a simple, low anal fistula (not a complex or recurrent one)
- You do not have diseases like Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, tuberculosis, HIV, or anal cancer
- You do not have blood clotting problems or low platelets
- You have not had previous surgery for the fistula
- Your diabetes is well controlled (if you have diabetes)

This study tests whether injecting platelet-rich plasma (a substance made from your own blood that helps healing) or using it as a glue during surgery can improve healing of anal fistulas. It may offer a less painful or more effective option than standard surgery alone.
This trial tests a new treatment for a type of anal fistula that keeps coming back after surgery. It uses special procedures to clean the fistula tract and then inject a concentrate of your own blood (called PRGF) to help it heal. The goal is to close the fistula without cutting the muscle.
This trial tests whether a special tissue therapy can help heal complex anal fistulas that involve a large part of the sphincter muscle. It is for adults who need surgery for this condition and do not have certain other health issues.
This study compares a special blood treatment called platelet-rich plasma (PRP) to standard care for healing the cut made during childbirth (episiotomy). PRP uses your own blood to help the wound heal faster and with less pain.
This trial tests a new procedure called Fistura to treat complex anal fistulas (abnormal tunnels between the anal canal and skin). It uses radiofrequency energy to close the fistula while preserving muscle. The study is for people whose fistula has already been drained with a temporary seton stitch.
This study tests whether a treatment made from your own blood (platelet-rich plasma or platelet-rich fibrin) can help heal chronic skin ulcers better than standard care. If you have a non-healing ulcer that fits the size and duration criteria, and you are generally healthy, you may be able to participate.
